C000104191 Investment Objective and Strategy
EQ/PIMCO Ultra Short Bond Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks to generate a return in excess of traditional money market products while maintaining an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.
Principal investment strategy
The Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. The Portfolio may invest in investment grade U.S. dollar denominated securities of U.S. issuers that are rated Baa or higher by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch), or, if unrated, determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Portfolio invests in a variety of fixed income investments, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises (U.S. Government Securities); corporate debt securities of U.S.
issuers, including corporate commercial paper; mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities; loan participations and assignments. The Sub-Adviser will seek to add value by emphasizing market sectors and individual securities that, based on historical yield relationships represent an attractive valuation. The average portfolio duration of this Portfolio will vary based on the Sub-Advisers forecast for interest rates and will normally not exceed one year, as calculated by the Sub-Adviser. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to interest rates. Typically, a bond portfolio with a low (short) duration means that its value is less sensitive to interest rate changes, while a bond portfolio with a high (long) duration is more sensitive. The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements.
The Portfolio intends to use derivatives for a variety of purposes, including as a substitute for investing directly in securities, as a hedge against interest rate risk and to attempt to enhance returns. The Portfolios investments in derivatives transactions may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the Portfolio is not required to invest the full market value of the contract upon entering into the contract but participates in gains and losses on the full contract price. The use of derivatives also may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the heightened price sensitivity of some derivatives to market changes may magnify the Portfolios gain or loss. It is not expected, however, that the Portfolio will be leveraged by borrowing money for investment purposes. The Portfolios investments in derivatives may require it to maintain a percentage of its assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments to serve as margin or collateral for the Portfolios obligations under derivative transactions.
The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities and common stocks. The Sub-Adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, including to invest in a company believed to offer superior investment opportunities. lf a security is downgraded, the Sub-Adviser will reevaluate the holding to determine what action, including the sale of such security, is in the best interest of investors. The Portfolio may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
